Best real estate tips for sellers in a hot market

Real estate sellers may assume that a “hot” market will result in a quick, simple sale of their property. After all, a hot market entails little available inventory along with a large number of purchasers hunting for the ideal location. But you can do more to set your property apart from the competition.

Best Tips for Sellers in a Hot Market

ESTIMATE WHAT IT IS WORTH
A real estate agent can provide you with current sales figures for similar homes and market research to help you make an informed decision.

DECLUTTER
Your home should be spotless when you list it for sale. You also don’t want a cluttered home. Removing clutter can make rooms seems bigger and more usable, increasing perceived value.

DEPERSONALIZE
You’re brave with paint, and the neighborhood is buzzing about the green accent blocks in the family room. However, such walls say to a buyer, “You’ve got a major paint job ahead.” Stick with neutral colors and remove all personal memorabilia.

MAKE STRATEGIC HOME IMPROVEMENTS
The “Cost versus. Worth” study from Remodeling magazine for 2022 states that you don’t need to build an additional wing on your property to increase its value. Stick with low-cost facelifts that improve curb appeal and accent features.

THINK ABOUT STAGING
Those houses on HGTV that sell for astronomical sums? Many are professionally staged, which means that someone removes your belongings and brings in some gorgeous, tastefully arranged furniture and a few ferns.
